Enforcement of School Clothing Guidelines

If a student dresses in a way that does not meet the requirements of the dress code, a parent will be called, and the student will not be allowed to attend classes until his or her attire is appropriate. The parent may select one of the following options:

Bring appropriate attire to the school. Come to school and take the student home. Instruct a student who drives to go home and change clothes.

Note: These enforcement guidelines also apply to days when presentation attire is required.
